Stoke are eyeing Gulacsi as a possible replacement if they lose current no.1 Asmir Begovic.

Southampton want Gulacsi, who is also a target for Germans Werder Bremen, to provide genuine competition to their current first choice Artur Boruc.

Gulacsi has been pencilled in to make his senior international debut for Hungary against Denmark against Denmark next month.

But he has the added attraction to English clubs of qualifying as a home grown player after spending six years on Liverpool's books before joining Red Bull Salzburg last summer.

Gulacsi's agent James Lippett said: "Peter has been brilliant this season and is therefore going to attract attention from the Premier League and Bundesliga but as of now he is very committed to the Red Bull project."
